2009 Annual Report
Date:
Tuesday, October 27, 2009 (All day) 
Every year about this time, we ask ourselves, “What stories most define the past year of our wilderness and wildlife saving work?
Certainly the generosity of our members and supporters was at the very top of our list of outstanding stories for the 2008-09 period. In these tough times, people really stepped it up to support the Wilderness Committee. Consequently, we were able to keep our campaigns going flat out, with great results.
This year our campaign to keep BC’s rivers wild and power public spring-boarded off of our success last year in the fight to protect the Pitt River. Together with our partner groups we conducted public meetings in communities the length and breadth of the province, setting us up for future wins protecting threatened rivers in the Bute Inlet and the Kootenays.
The champagne corks were popping on several occasions when the lawyers at Ecojustice, working for us and our partners, won several court cases for endangered species. It was a very hopeful year in the fight to save Canada’s endangered critters.
It was also a good year for parks, particularly in Manitoba where our office there wildly celebrated the provincial government announcing the end of logging in Manitoba’s provincial parks system.
As usual, there’s just too much good news, mighty battles and big plans to stuff into this little letter. You’ll have to read the whole annual report to find out the full story.
A mighty big thanks to all of our members and supporters from the bottom of our hearts for making this, our 29th year of protecting Canadian nature, so wildly successful!
